“…The first cluster discusses the use of web-based and email surveys, information sharing, and/or therapeutic communications. These generally support the notion that web-based health information sharing and counseling is legitimate, cost-effective and allows easier access to difficult-to-reach populations (Alves and Szucs, 2001;Douglas and McGarty, 2001;Fyfe et al, 2001;Manhal-Baugus, 2001;Nahm and Resnick, 2001;Navarro, 2001;Sills and Song, 2002). A second cluster compares email or web-based surveys to standard mailed surveys or telephone communication, generally finding lower participation among those using email, but also finding lower costs associated with this form of survey (Harewood et al, 2001;Kurioka et al, 2001;Raziano et al, 2001).…”

This article examines the use of computer-mediated recruitment and email intensive interviewing in contrast to more traditional methods of data collection. Email interviewing is compared to telephone and face-to-face interviewing with the same study population utilizing the same interview guide. This allows analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each interview format to emerge. This serendipitous comparison opportunity arose from a study of the decision-making and bereavement process of women who terminated desired pregnancies after diagnosis of a fetal anomaly. History and analysis of ethical and methodological issues related to computerized communication for research purposes is included. Although more methodological analysis (Illingworth, 2001) must occur, results suggest that computer-mediated methods allow the research to include isolated, geographically dispersed and/or stigmatized groups who are often overlooked or ignored. This is important for social work researchers who need additional research methods to collect rich data about these difficultto-access groups.

“…Internet‐based surveys have advantages over postal or telephone surveys in that they reduce costs, allow for rapid responses, and enable automatic transfer of data into a database, which reduces the risk of data entry errors. However, this might be at the expense of lower overall response rates 34 …”

The aim of the present study is to describe ACEM trainees' perspectives on assessment and feedback during their training. From May to July 2009, an anonymous Web-based survey on training and supervision in emergency medicine was conducted, addressing trainees' perceptions of mandatory assessments (primary examination, fellowship examination and mandatory trainee research requirement) and feedback at work. Qualitative data were analysed using grounded theory methodology--themes were identified by close examination of full text responses. In total, 622 trainees responded to the survey (response rate of 37%). Trainees report that general clinical supervision is adequate; however, direct supervision at the bedside and feedback could be significantly improved. They perceive that the primary examination is necessary, although they feel it is irrelevant to their development as emergency trainees and are keen for more clinically applied knowledge to be tested. They dislike mandatory trainee research, feel inadequately supported and distracted from other aspects of their training. The fellowship examination was overall thought to be fair; however, there were concerns with the time pressures and restrictions to the written component of the examination. Additionally, the structured clinical examination was popular, whereas short cases and long cases were very unpopular. ACEM trainees' views of training may help inform curriculum development, and might assist those providing education to improve local training programs.
